If you host on Airbnb anywhere in the UK, you’ve seen this message more times than you can count:
“Hey, can I drop my bags off early?”
“Is there anywhere I can leave my luggage after check out?”
About 1 in 2 guests ask for early check in or late luggage storage. For UK hosts, the timing is even tighter. Flights into Heathrow and Gatwick land at all hours. Eurostar arrivals roll in mid morning. Trains from Edinburgh, Manchester or Bath turn up before lunch. Almost none of it lines up with a 3pm check in.
There’s a simple fix. It’s called Stasher, the UK’s largest luggage storage solution, and it doesn’t cost you a thing. In fact, it pays you.
The luggage problem every UK host knows too well
Guests arrive early. Flights leave late. Cleaners need their window. None of these things line up with the standard check in and check out times.
Most of the time, the request sounds harmless. “Can I just leave my suitcase by the door?” But that one bag often turns into:
- A trip back to the property in the middle of your day
- A grumpy cleaner who can’t move freely
- A delayed turnover that pushes back the next guest
- An awkward conversation when you have to say no
Multiply that by a few bookings a week and it adds up to real time, real stress, and sometimes real money lost.
What is Stasher?
Stasher is the UK’s largest and top rated luggage storage platform. Your guests can drop their bags at a nearby trusted hotel or shop, then carry on with their day, hands free.
A few numbers worth knowing:

How it works in 3 simple steps
1. Share your link. Stasher gives you your own referral link. Drop it into your welcome message, check out instructions, or listing FAQ.
2. Your guest books. They click the link, pick a storage spot near your property, and drop off their bags in minutes.
3. You earn commission. Every booking made through your link puts money in your pocket. No admin, no chasing, no extra work.
That’s it. No app to install, no contracts, no setup fees.
When do guests actually use it?
Pretty much any time their schedule doesn’t match the keys. The most common moments for UK guests:
- Early flights into London. A 7am landing at Heathrow means hours to kill before check in. Instead of waiting around, they head straight to a coffee shop and start exploring.
- Late departures from the city. Check out is 11am but the train back to Paris on the Eurostar isn’t until 8pm. Stasher gives them a free day in London instead of a wasted one.
- UK day trips. A guest staying in London who fancies a day in Oxford or Brighton. No one wants to drag suitcases on a train.
- Awkward gaps. Moving between properties, catching a late train from King’s Cross or Euston, or stopping for a Sunday roast on the way to the airport.
In every one of these moments, your Stasher link is the answer.
Why UK hosts love it
- Smoother turnovers. No bags blocking the hallway while your cleaner is flipping the property.
- Happier guests. They keep exploring London, Edinburgh, or wherever you host, instead of dragging suitcases around.
- Better reviews. Sorting the luggage problem upfront makes you look like a five star host.
- Extra income. You earn a commission on every booking your guests make through your link.
- Zero risk. Every bag is insured up to £1,200 and every storage spot is checked and approved by the Stasher team.
How safe is it?
Every Stasher location is a real UK business, not someone’s living room. Think small hotels, independent cafes, gift shops, and convenience stores that already handle their own customers and stock. They’re vetted by the Stasher team, security tagged, and rated by every guest after every booking.
If anything goes wrong, the £1,200 insurance per booking has your guests covered, and the 24/7 support team is on standby through the live chat on stasher.com.
